About The Book: Mark Twain's 1894 novel, "Pudd'nhead Wilson," unfolds in the fictional town of Dawson's Landing on the Mississippi River. The plot revolves around two boys, one born into slavery with a trace of black ancestry and the other, white, destined for a life of privilege. The boys are inadvertently switched at birth, leading to a complex narrative of social roles, deception, and crime. Twain weaves a tale of identity, privilege, and the consequences of societal norms. The story explores themes of race and class, culminating in a courtroom revelation using fingerprint evidence that exposes the true identities and destinies of the protagonists.
